WHY ARTS MATTER

Our summer camp is nearing its end. But it’s not over yet! Today was a relatively calm and relaxed day in preparation for tomorrow and Friday. Though there was still a lot of work to be finished for the shows. While it was still a busy day, the kids got to enjoy some down time at lunch, which included a talent show. The kids got to demonstrate their talents for the rest of the camp. It was a success! The kids enjoyed getting to watch their friends. For many, it was the first time they heard about or even saw a talent show.Elsewhere during the day, the groups rehearsed their plays with their costumes and continued working on props and painting sets and various backdrops for their plays. In other areas of the camp, the usual classes proceeded- dance, music, crafts and fashion- where they were finalizing their routines, musical numbers and outfits for the displays tomorrow. The children are very eager for the shows. They have been working hard on preparing everything. The plays are going to be great Friday, as well as the performances of dance, music and fashion shows.It has been a lot of fun watching the children come together and progress on their projects and start from the beginning then seeing them work towards the end result.We are definitely sad that camp is almost over, but it’s going to be a good end to the week, so we hope everyone can come out to enjoy the final shows!
